Premiering at CodeMoves

9 by Miryam Gabrielle

9 is a code. Drawing from historically covert language, 9 brings forth interactions with self and ancestry that map pathways toward expansion. A number connected with completion and clarity, this work asks one to remain attuned to stay in tune.

Come see 9 in Akron, Ohio June 6th and Detroit Michigan on June 11th. Use the link in our bio or click https://www.themovementproject.org/codemoves to grab tickets and learn more about the project.
